When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Alumaweld Intruder Inboard 2009 and the Alumaweld Super Vee Pro 2010 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Alumaweld Super Vee Pro 2010 measures 21,4 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 3,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Alumaweld Intruder Inboard 2009 at 18,0 feet (2009). At 152 lbs and 162 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Alumaweld Super Vee Pro 2010 has a 50-hp advantage over the Alumaweld Intruder Inboard 2009's 200-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 47 gal and 45 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Alumaweld Super Vee Pro 2010 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Alumaweld Intruder Inboard 2009 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Alumaweld Super Vee Pro 2010 could be the deciding factor.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Alumaweld Super Vee Pro 2010 comes in at 1 lbs per hp versus 1 lbs per hp for the Alumaweld Intruder Inboard 2009. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
The Alumaweld Intruder Inboard 2009 is an inflatable design — lighter, easier to store, and quicker to launch from a beach or dock without a slipway. The Alumaweld Super Vee Pro 2010 is a rigid hull, which typically offers a more confident ride in chop and easier maintenance over the long term.
Bottom line: Choose the Alumaweld Super Vee Pro 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 21,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Alumaweld Intruder Inboard 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
